Question by CuriousAboutTheWorld: What can I do for my dog's neck pain?
We have a beagle as a family pet. He's getting up in his years. He's about 10 or 11 years old, and he has some kind of pain in his neck. We can tell because of how he keeps his head so his nose is barely off the floor. What can I do to help him?

Question by yvette H: Pain medication safe for old dogs?
I've been reading that pain meds are not safe, that they damge the liver and kidneys if the dog has weaknesses in those areas. My dog is 16 so yes, he has issues, I heard it can cause immediate kidney failure. Has anyone here had on old dog on pain meds that were safe?

Answer by Lee
I know dozens of dogs that take Rimadyl, however, they need to have blood monitoring tests to check for the things you mentioned. There is NO drug (not even vitamins) that are 100% safe for every animal to take. A good vet will recommend testing once an animal is on a medication.

Question by Koter Boters misses Rufus!: Can a dog's dirty ears cause them pain?
My mother's dog has always been a stinky dog(even after baths).

Could her ears make her body stinky or is that from her not eating good food?

The pain in the ears is that from them being too dirty?

I will have my mom get her dog's ears checked at the vet today when I take my dog to get his weight checked.

If she was my dog I would have already had them checked but she isn't.
My dogs are the 2 big dogs. She is a small dog.

Answer by Amy
Yes, dirty ears can smell VERY bad. And dirty ears can be a sign of infection or ear mites. This is something that needs medical attention.
